Posting this here as we talked about at the end of Apha War 6. It would be helpful to have a warning message to let people know when the war will end instead of just an abrupt war has ended message.

Can you make a warning that makes my alarm clock go off ? Fell asleep putting the 3 yr old to bed last night cuz she had to have me lay her, and as a result I did not get to do my endgame pm. And of course this was the first war I was not sweating getting all of my ss up to 90.

Sure can't. Stop being weak and falling asleep!

I'd say this falls under the realm of a checkmark in the option (allow galaxy ending warnings to make a sound) and use the PM sound for it. That PM sound can adequately wake the dead at a high enough volume

I do not like this concept do to the quantity of messages currently being delivered.
And any sound at a high enough volume could wake the dead

I don't understand the resistance. Some people would find such an option useful and it wouldn't be ON be default. It is not an unreasonable request either and would not bother a single user in its default state. Some of us have earned the right to be lazy at times.. help us out!

The Preferences dialog is already becoming quite bulky, and this is something that can easily be handled outside the client with various forms of alarms.
Further, with the current update/installer system, preferences are often reset, and it would not be very reliable.
I love having options, but for usability reasons, there have to be lines drawn in some places. Some things the user just needs to be responsible for themselves.
